    Roy Kite's Buttermilk Candy


    Source of Recipe


    recipecircus-buny

    List of Ingredients





    2-1/2 cups sugar
    1/2 tsp salt
    1 tsp baking soda
    1 cup buttermilk
    2 Tbsp butter
    1 tsp vanilla
    1/2 cup pecans or 1/2 cup raisins (optional)




    Recipe



    1. Mix the sugar, salt and baking soda together in a saucepan. Add the buttermilk and place on medium heat. Let boil gently, stirring constantly, until the mixture turns from a cream to a caramel color.

    2. Remove from the heat and add butter and vanilla. Cool slightly; then beat until thickened. Nuts or raisins may be added at this stage. Pour the candy onto a buttered dish or platter. Cut into squares when the candy is completely cooled.

    VARIATION: If you omit the baking soda and cook the mixture to the soft-ball stage, a white buttermilk-flavored candy results. Shredded coconut is a good addition to either version of the candy; add it with the nuts or raisins.

    Makes 20 (1-inch) squares.
